Your experience is exactly why I do not go to docs. I could write a book on the experiences I had from the very FEW times I went to a doctor since I was 20 yrs old and now next month 77. My best friend in Florida was trying to prove to her family that she was healthy enough to live by herself. She took no drugs and had energy at 82. One number was a LITTLE high so the doc put her on a med. The med caused a problem, so another med. In very few months she had to have one of those daily plastic things to keep track of a handful of pills. She got symptom after symptom and ALL were due to the drugs, In six months, her last symptom was depression. The drugs took away her will to live and she shut her eyes on purpose and stopped eating and died. The doctors orders killed her.

You do not have to take any more poison, the decision is yours. I have read the side effects of Eliquis before and no way would I swallow one. I am not encouraging you to do anything as the doctor trusting people whomp on me. I am saying, I do not believe in doing what others do. I research and decide for myself. I have watched 34 people die who were younger than me, and all went to docs and obeyed whatever they said and did not change their diet one bit and I believe every one of them was younger than me, some as much as 20 yrs younger. I walk up and down steep hills to town every day and eat mostly natural foods. Clean my house and take care of myself. I could write a book, but not room here.
